Archibald Primary School : School Organisation School Organisation

The Nursery is staffed by a full time teacher and two Nursery Nurses. All the staff work as a team to care for the children and to plan their activities.

There are two nursery sessions each day, with up to 39 children attending each session.

The morning session is from 8.30 am until 11.30 am, and the afternoon session is from 12.15 pm until 3.15 pm.

A child’s name can be put onto the waiting list as soon after birth as you wish, however no child can be admitted to nursery before their third birthday.

School Organisation

There are seven year groups in Archibald Primary School, Reception to Year 6.

The ground floor is occupied by Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 classes. The general office, headteachers room, staff room and Sure Start West Middlesbrough Centre is also situated on the ground floor.

Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6 classes are situated on the upper floor. Upstairs there is also an ICT room and well stocked
library.

We are fortunate to have two large halls, one on each floor.

Throughout each academic year your child will have their own class teacher, someone they can rely on, not only for their lessons but also for help and guidance with problems concerning their welfare at school. Sometimes your child may be taught by other teachers for some lessons.

Your child’s class teacher is the person you should consult about your child’s progress.

On two separate occasions throughout the school year the teacher will invite you to come into school to discuss your child’s progress and their targets. In the Summer Term a School Report will be published and you will be invited into school on our “Open Afternoon”.

Your child’s teacher will also be happy to meet with you on other occasions if you so wish. In these instances, please contact the school office so that a mutually convenient time can be arranged.
